Ed, I think what he means is are there any specific traits to a luger to be aware of. With 1911s its a slide that sounds like a washing machine, with Beretta 92s its the infamous cracked slide, with wheel guns its the lock up, with military bolt actions its the headspace, muzzel and throat erosion, ect. Steven, Lugers are not something to wander into a gunshow, pick one up off a table and expect it to shoot and get it for a reasonable price. If its a really good gun someone else would have already got it. You most likely will end up with a nonfunctional Luger in name only that will be a problem until you put it on a table at a gunshow and wonder why you ever looked at it anyway.
If you want a shooter then ask here, these are good folks with good reputations who will do right.
